Did You Know?

 

Did you know that there is a difference between "cured" and "uncured" live rock? When live rock is harvested from the ocean, it is likely that there are several critters residing in and on that rock. Everything from sponge to starfish to crabs has been found on fresh batches of rock. However, the live rock is shipped to stores in wet newspaper, which means the most delicate of the organisms living on the rock will most likely not survive the trip. So, the curing process is the period of time it takes for those more delicate organisms to die off and be broken down naturally by the bacteria that inhabits the pores of the rock. When adding rock to an existing, established setup, try to find cured rock or cure the rock yourself at home. All live rock needs to cure is saltwater, constant flow and stable temperature. Use a container like a fish safe bucket, a small power head and heater, fill it with saltwater, set up your power head and heater and wait. Changing the water in the bucket and scrubbing the rock may speed along the process. In a new setup, adding uncured rock gives you the benefit of starting a natural nitrogen cycle and the chance of hitch hikers which can be interesting. So now you know, and knowing is half of the battle. For more information about live rock, its benefits and curing process visit the Q&A portion of our website. Don't forget, we have some nice cured Pohnpei Live Rock currently on sale!
